Doo Run Riddim – Mr Doo Music

A ten-track lineup with Shaggy, Bounty Killer, and Brian and Tony Gold tells you this one was aimed at serious dancehall ears, not just the usual summer juggling crowd. Mr. Doo brought the project out on his own imprint in September 2021, and the hook is the nod back to Delroy Wilson’s “Run Run, ” which gives the riddim its name and its old-school reference point. There’s a veteran feel to the whole set: Amber Lee’s “I Get Money, ” Kevin Lawrence’s “Run Run, ” and the Bounty Killer/Brian and Tony Gold combination on “Things You Do” sit right alongside the Shaggy and Rayvon cut “Drive Me Insane. ” The production keeps a tight, mid-tempo shove with a clipped drum pattern, a firm bass line, and enough space for the vocals to ride cleanly over the groove.
